PBIS Update
• Earning extra recess time
• Getting to line up first for lunch
• Getting to be the "Lakeview D.J." and play a song for the entire school
Our behavior data for December showed that students demonstrated even better behavior than usual (and kids at Lakeview are really good every day!) About halfway through the school year,
69% of students have never received an incident report
13% of students only have 1 incident recorded
11% of students have 2-5 incidents
7% of students have 6 or more incidents recorded
This means 82% of our students have either never had an incident or only 1 incident. Our students meet our expectations day after day and use the moments that do not meet expectations as learning experiences. We encourage you to use our expectations of Be Safe ~ Be Respectful ~ Be Engaged at home, too!
Be Safe at home could mean "hands to self, play nicely"
Be Respectful at home could mean "only use kind words"
Be Engaged at home could mean "do your chores independently"
